ANATOMY OF A PEAR-CUT
Pears are reasonable good at hiding pesky inclusions, although the larger the carat weight the lager the centre facets which will allow you to see straight into the stone. meaning the larger the stone the higher the Clarity needed to maintain an "Eye clean" appearance.
Experts prefer Pear-cuts with a ratio of 1.5 or 1.75 this is referring to the length vs width
But here at London rocks you know we are sticklers for the rules and we enjoy stones with character that don't always fit within these tight restrictions, although symmetry is key
Moving away from a good ratio will eventually result in a poor cut and a loss of sparkle, a well cut Pear shape diamond will have symmetrical proportions and excellent facet alignment allowing light to reflect and refract optimally
We believe that shape is a personal preference and sometimes the technical graded attributes can be overlooked for the sake of silhouette.
This must of course be within certain boundaries as the further a stone gets from an Ex, Ex cut grade the less the stone will refract light and the less it will sparkle.
Be sure to pay close attention to the "wings" of a Pear-cut Diamond as this is the main aspect that will change the shape of your stone when faced up.
